In order to avoid overfill of storage vessels by human error, several devices have been invented and employed to alert the person controlling the filling process when the storage vessel is full. Various means such as compressed gas, electrically actuated horns and mechanical devices have been invented to provide the alert. Devices discussed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,227,322 and 2,429,280 provide methods of producing an alarm when a float raises a stem to open or close an aperture to allow vapors to pass through a whistle or to cease passing through a whistle. The devices are complex, require special mounting and restrict the venting capacity of the storage vessel.
